Definition
C2Particle Physics
(technical, academic)A hypothetical particle that interacts extremely weakly with ordinary matter and has significant mass, making it difficult to detect.
Example
- Scientists are exploring the properties of super weakly interacting massive particles to better understand dark matter.
C2Cosmology
(technical, academic)A type of dark matter candidate that interacts with normal particles primarily through gravity, with minimal interaction through other forces.
Example
- In cosmological models, super weakly interacting massive particles play a crucial role in the formation and evolution of the universe.
